Today in Focus
PODCAST
Hosted by Rachel Humphreys, Nosheen Iqbal and Michael Safi, The Guardian’s Today in Focus podcast takes an in-depth look at just one news story of the day.
Over the course of each 20-30 minute episode, a high-profile story is unpicked in detail. Through expert analysis and measured, balanced reporting, the team deliver a clearer understanding of the news, every weekday. Recent news stories that have featured on Today in Focus include a discussion around Cop26 and whether world leaders will work together in order to find ways to reduce the growing threat of global warming, and a look at the parliamentary report that concluded the Government’s initial response to the Covid-19 pandemic had resulted in what it called one of the worst public health failures in UK history.
Other episodes have gone through the Pandora Papers to reveal the financial dealings of the rich and powerful and asked whether Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen’s testimony to Congress will rein in the social media giant.
